Love's Enough

Every time you fall in love,

That’s the best time of all.

It’s holding sunshine in your hands,

It’s heaven come to call.

And you wonder, will it last forever?

And you try to keep tomorrow locked away.

‘Cause tomorrow is forever,
And love’s enough for anyone today.

Every time you fall in love,

That’s the only time it’s real.

And that girl is the only girl,

Who shares the way you feel

And you wonder how you lived without her,

And you tell yourself she’ll never go away.

‘Cause without her there’s no living,

And love’s enough for anyone today.

Love’s enough

To find your heart and lose it,

To see the doubt and choose it
Over knowing how or when.
Love’s enough,

To know if she’d refuse it

You’d take what’s left and try your luck again

‘Cause every time you fall in love,
That’s the one and only time.

It’s living through the final verse

Of a wan and lonely rhyme
‘Cause you know this one will last forever,
And you turn and watch tomorrow drift away.

‘Cause tomorrow is forever,

And love’s enough for anyone today.

Music

For guitar players, I would suggest playing it either in C with a capo on the third fret or in D with a capo in the first fret. The cover by Dutch singer Ricky Koole is in C, but with a capo on I. When I write a 9 chord, by the way, it mostly means simply: add the 2nd (e.g., an F with a g in it).
